"He Is Risen" is the thirty-fourth episode of the HBO original series The Sopranos and the eighth of the show's third season. It was written by Robin Green, Mitchell Burgess and Todd A. Kessler, directed by Allen Coulter and originally aired on April 15, 2001.
As Tony Soprano enters Dr. Melfi's office for his regular appointment, he learns that she accidentally double-booked. The other patient is a woman named Gloria Trillo who works as a saleswoman for Globe Motors, a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Tony is intrigued by her and asks Dr. Melfi why she needs therapy, but Melfi reminds him that she cannot discuss other patients' problems with him.
Thanksgiving draws near, which is likely to bring animosity between several members of the family. Tony is still angered at Ralph Cifaretto over the murder of Tracee, stating that he "disrespected the Bing" as well as him and the organization. To add insult to injury, while gambling at the Bloomfield Avenue casino, Ralphie refuses to greet Tony, which is customary and is exercised all around them by the rest of Tony's crew. When Ralphie finally acknowledges Tony's presence, he does not accept Tony's offer to have a drink with him. Tony contemplates that he may need to put Ralph "out to pasture", but doesn't want to, as he is a particularly good earner. Later, while getting the turkey for Thanksgiving, Tony remembers that Ralphie and Rosalie Aprile are set to join them for Thanksgiving dinner, therefore he forces Carmela to lie to Rosalie, saying there will not be a Thanksgiving this year due to Carmela's father's poor health.
